Two big ones to start with

A'bunadh, and the difference may be greater in some markets (because I haven't seen the bargain prices on the A'bunadh some have quoted on the newsgroup).

The Glenfarclas 105 is CHEAP at duty free shops in German airports though (something like 29 Euro for a liter). It is indeed a nice smackingly satisfying dram, though nowhere nearly as succulent as the Aberlour A'Bunadh. I did have a GREAT Glenfarclas recently bottled in a fresh sherry cask for the millenium--absolutely rich, ripe, and robust--and I have seen a similar high-charged sherry bottling of Glenfarclas recently at Weinquelle in Hamburg. I have had some Glenfarclas at 40% over the last year or two, but I think 40% is too weak for Glenfarclas--it starts to seem flabby. I think it needs at least 43%.

That's amazingly cheap! What a bargain! I have to pay twice that for a 750ml.

OK Bart, I'll take you up on that challenge and will report back shortly. Look Douglas, more whisky research!

Bless your dear unselfish soul.

It's a small fortune here in Wisconsin too. A very strange market thing.
